Two kids borrow goats for a Christmas pageant, chaos ensues.
In turn-of-the-century Texas, Callie and Travis face a festive dilemma. With no sheep for the Christmas pageant, they borrow goats, unaware of the chaos these creatures bring. As the goats munch through town, will the pageant be a disaster or a holiday miracle? Join Callie and Travis in a heartwarming adventure where unexpected challenges lead to unforgettable memories.
Featuring the charming characters from Jacquline Kelly’s Newbery Honor Book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, this exciting chapter book series introduces young readers to Callie Vee and the rough-and-tumble world of turn-of-the-century Texas. Callie and Travis need sheep for the town Christmas pageant. Travis is playing the shepherd in the Nativity scene, and what’s a shepherd without his flock? Unfortunately, Fentress is low on sheep–but not on goats. When Callie and Travis decide to borrow two goats from their neighbor, they don’t know what they’re in for. As it turns out, the main trouble with goats is that they’ll eat just about anything. This will be one Christmas pageant Fentress won’t forget!
